Actions that produce state changes include initiation, alteration, and deletion. Initiation is either creation, such as when a data file is created by migration from an earlier format, or introduction, which happens when an existing object is submitted to a Preservation Environment. A PreservationAction involves a PreservationTarget as input. (†2533)

In addition, if any problem occurs in carrying out a PreservationAction, data about the problem and what is done to address it should be captured.
